Dzogchen direct introduction and other practices

As Tantra often involves vows and samaya related to secret practice, this sub-forum has been created where Vajrayana practitioners can pose questions, and any of our members or staff can reply confidentially by PM.

Dzogchen direct introduction and other practices

Post by Johnny Dangerous »

If one takes direct introduction, but is already engaged in other Vajrayana, or has other practice commitments, how is this typically "handled"?

I.e. can one take direct introduction in a way similar to empowerments, for the experience itself as a blessing, and continue with one's normal practice?

How does one integrate the experience into non-Dzogchen practices?
